The sequence was captured in Monterey Bay in Canada.

Douglas said: “It was quite exciting! Salmon season coincides with the time when humpbacks are returning to Monterey Bay to feed for the summer and there were hundreds of boats on the bay fishing.

“This whale had breached a couple of times before this and many times they’ll just keep doing it.

“I went below deck to shoot from a porthole close to the water line. That’s what gives this amazing perspective of looking up at the whale.
